Since 2000, our Permanent Crew have welcomed supporters on board, immersing Voyage Crew in an unforgettable sailing experience. 

They’ve helped you go aloft, taught you the lingo and made even the most novice crew feel like seasoned sailors.  

Here our Permanent Crew share their memories of Tenacious over the years.
